Nissan GT-R breaks the $100,000 barrier

The 2014 Nissan GT-R now starts at $100,590. I don't think I've ever seen a car increase in price like the GT-R has, it was $70K back in 2008. It's still a lot of bang for the super car buck, but it's really getting into a new league of competition at $100K.

You can have an opinion, just be prepared to be relentlessly mocked for it.

On what basis? The Corvette has always been cheap because of it's bargain basement interior. That was one of it's charms. On what planet do we believe it will continue to be cheap with an interior that has no business in a Corvette?

When the car first came out, weren't there a lot of issues of dealerships charging an arm and a leg for those cars, and they were asking for over 100K?

And considering that in the years that it's been on the market, they've continued to refine it, I'm not surprised. 70K for a car of that performance wasn't going to stay there. 100K does seem more fitting for a car of that stature.

The R35, in general, has seriously ballooned from the old GT-R. The R34 and back were relatively cheap.

They were also seriously pedestrian compared to what the GT-R is now. If you wanted a OMFG Skyline GT-R you were looking at 80-100 thousand.Z-Tunes fetched $180,000 and they were rated at less horsepower than this current GT-R.

A relatively pedestrian GT-R would still be a damn good car.
"There's a lie that all drivers tell themselves -- death is something that happens to other people. That's how you find the courage to get in the car in the first place. But more powerful than even the fear of death itself is the will to win."

It'd basically be a souped-up MazdaSpeed6 coupe. Yes yes yes yes.

I'd rather have the R35 wagon. "There's a lie that all drivers tell themselves -- death is something that happens to other people. That's how you find the courage to get in the car in the first place. But more powerful than even the fear of death itself is the will to win."
